Wonderful character development!

Don't listen to the negative reviews

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

A family needs a babysitter and cute Heather (India Eisley) with a hidden past seems perfect. Wife (Laura Allen) installs cam. Dad (JCam Gigandet) enjoys cam. We have seen this genre played out ad nauseam.Lifetime didn't add anything to the mix.Guide: No f-bomb or nudity. Sex scene.

Sadly, I watched this whole movie hoping it would get better by the end. The movie is unbelievable from the beginning. Starting with the father who leaves a nail gun in the yard while his young daughter is outside playing in that same yard. The idea that this is as good as the hand that rocks the cradle movie is all wrong. 1. The couple that hires this girl as a babysitter calls one number as a reference and then hire her. Oddly, even though the wife suspects something isn't right, she doesn't fire the girl until late into the situation. Even when the babysitter goes against what she's told her to do. She just let's her work in her home all day as a nanny ... opting to just put in more cameras in the home. Really?2. The husband was a bit of a jerk the whole movie and never tells the wife about all of the suggestive behavior by the babysitter and that she had basically raped him? Really? He comes clean after the babysitter managed to put a recording of them having sex in the wife's work video.3. The babysitter kills the old lady who was the original babysitter, and no one figures out anything. Really? 4. The babysitter kidnaps the couples daughter in like 5 minutes from the upstairs bedroom? Really?5. The babysitter is pushed from the 3rd floor window and hits the ground ... yet she manages to get away? Really?There's more to say but I'm stopping here because there's nothing good to say.

Working mother Laura Allen and handsome, well-built husband Cam Gigandet (as Linda and Mark Kessler) leave their little girl with elderly, hard-of-hearing babysitter Carol Herman (as Barbara Highsmith) and a mishap occurs. The couple reluctantly hires attractive young India Eisley (as Heather Lambert) as a new babysitter for gap-toothed little Farrah Mackenzie (as Chloe). The teenage babysitter shows off a hickey on her upper thigh to bond with the little girl, who is scarred from the opening incident...Because she and Mr. Gigandet are often out working and don't want another unexplained incident to occur, Ms. Allen sets up a hidden camera to monitor events in the home. Of course, the sexy babysitter becomes a star. There are also some startling revelations...This formula has been done before, and much more memorably. "Nanny Cam" stumbles around its titillating situation. The biggest thing caught on tape is disappointing; it's obvious the supposed male "abductor" is not even participating in the act, but nobody seems to notice. This is the first time producer Nancy Leopardi takes credit for directing a feature and she works well with the actors. As a seemingly psycho teenage sex object, Eisley shows a great range of emotions. The ending disappoints.**** Nanny Cam (12/28/14) Nancy Leopardi ~ India Eisley, Laura Allen, Cam Gigandet, Farrah Mackenzie

Lifetime Movie Network got it right this time with a great spin on the age old "hand that rocks the cradle" concept!I'll give no spoilers here, only to say that they did just enough tweaking on the thriller movie concept that was undoubtedly done best when played by the beautiful Rebecca De Mornay as the sexy-psycho-sitter, Peyton.LMN kept all the key factors that made this type of thriller work, and added a few, fresh concepts that really, really did work all in favor of the movie.All 3 of the key characters were, IMO, perfectly cast for each of their respective roles in the "love triangle", so to speak, with the husband/wife duo, and pulling up the rear is the devious lolita nanny, Heather.Impressive, IMO, when looked at for exactly what it is..a made-for-TV- movie!..Watch and enjoy, I say.
